U.S. urges Russia to expel Snowden

Washington is urging Moscow to send Edward Snowden back to the United States instead of letting him fly to Ecuador for asylum.

"We expect the Russian government to look at all options available to expel Mr. Snowden back to the U.S. to face justice for the crimes with which he is charged," U.S. National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said early Monday.

    What did Snowden do? Expose individuals you support, that covertly spy on your privacy? The NSA recently reported having captured 50 terrorists since 9/11, using the Prizm data mining software. It isn't like the terrorists were tipped off by Snowden and got away. So why are they hot on his trail to charge him. Charge him with what? You have drones in that are spying on you. The NSA spying on you, with your phone. Nobody cares about the Fourth Amendment, because everyone wants to be more like the communists.

    Edward Snowden is really in fact, innocent untill proven guilty. He is also protected by the Whistleblowers Protection Act, which IS part of our U.S. laws. Believe it or not.

    Edward Snowden is guilty. He will never be trusted again by the United States government.

    Hey chrissy Anti American would be "fundamentally transforming America" into a Cuban police state after using the Black Panthers to intimidate voters at the poll while using the EPA, IRS, DHS, NSA and all those other alphabet soup groups to harass the opponent before retiring the space shuttle fleet finding it more important to include muslims in the space race than to find a replacement for the space shuttle as your affirmative action president labels his opposition as terrorists while he supports Al Quaeda in Syria after a hostile socialist government takeover of the healthcare industry. All of that in a single sentence and you say Bush stole an election? And you say what about jobs? Look around, every city that has turned to crap has been run by liberals for the last 30 years. Detroit, California, New York, Chicago. People are leaving these cities and states in droves finding a better life in conservative republican states. Louisiana took the auto industry from Detroit and Hollywood from California, why? Answer: LIBERAL DEMOCRAT POLICIES

      He misses you Chrissy. I miss you too. Lol. So the last I heard on this issue is that snowden didn't get on the plane and Russia is saying they have no clue where he is. We all know Russia is full of s#%t but for once I'm laughing at the US govt. bunch of thugs anyways. I think we all can collectively say that that the US govt is out of flippin control

    But why can he not go back to the U.S. and face trial? To be self-exiled from such a beautiful country and his family is so sad.
